    Cup of Yum

  2. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl topped with more fresh dill, for garnish.

Notes

  • Makes 3 cups.
  • Change it up! This is a basic recipe, feel free to change it to suit your taste. Here are some variations:
  • Cucumbers: Regular cucumbers are used here but you can also use English cucumbers or Persian cucumbers, and bonus you don’t have to peel them.
  • Cream: Swap the yogurt for sour cream or use a combination of sour cream and mayo. You can also use reduced fat yogurt, but I personally think it's best with full fat.
  • Slicing Cucumbers: If you don’t have a mandolin, slice them as thinly as possible with a sharp knife.
  • Add red onion.
  • Herbs: Swap dill with parsley, tarragon, or chives for a different flavor profile.
  • Spices: You can add garlic powder and black pepper to taste.
  • Acid: You can add some white vinegar or fresh lemon juice, for variation.
  • If you make it, comment below and let us know!
